Abstract

The equivalence between the binary sequences obtained from a particular kind of keystream generator, the shrinking generator, and those ones generated from cellular automata has been studied. The class of shrinking generators can be identified with a subset of one-dimensional linear hybrid cellular automata with rules 90 and 150. A cryptanalytic approach based on the phaseshift of cellular automata output sequences is proposed. From the obtained results, we can create linear cellular automata-based models to cryptanalyze the class of keystream generators.
